Follow up story !!!

 So I got my next issue of runners world and in it I found some funny and weird comments from the subject I wrote about.
First comment was not a funny one I think this guy was actual being serious!
it said the following:
"after reading the article. I've have come to realize that I've been tying my laces incorrectly for more then 20 years of running. I'm 66 and I run two miles every morning. Finally my lace don't stand up like rabbits ears instead they lie nice and flat."  Hmmm that seems nice and informative and it shows that this man knows nothing about running.
There were other ones too the next one went like this:
"Five pages on how to tie your shoes? Perhaps you'll explain the complexities relating to pinning on a race bib."  This one my dad and I laugh pretty hard because its so true !! Come on RW !!
But my favorite one was the following:
"After reading this article I took my shoes and started practicing and when I finally got I could see everything. That song "I can see clearly now the rain is gone" rang thought-out my house and birds started to chirping. The next day I went on a run that I would remember for the rest of my life. People were waving at me, everyone was super nice. The next day I had a track meet and I was running the 1600m and I tied my shoes the right way and I won in a new American record and after the race I was taken away on a flying carpet to a huge kingdom in the sky where I danced with unicorns and was named king of the city of the clouds. Now I can 4 min miles like their 8min miles."

Over all RW needs to get better writer.

 
that is all
more columns to come !!

You know what really grins my gears!!


So a week ago I go my new Runner's World Magazine. So I'm looking thought it, it’s a pretty good issue, a lot of articles. Then I turn the page and read a header FIT TO BE TIED.  So I started to read it and learned that I was tying my shoes wrong. Then I was like what a minute!!! Give me a break, there's a certain way. The Granny Knot what a joke. I kept reading and saw that there was a flow chart!! So do I right over left. I really have no idea. There was even a balance knot and if their ties like that I'll lose a race. WHATTT?   To me that doesn't really matter. Also it was 4 PAGES long just on tying your shoes right. It’s funny, some days I don't even tie my shoes I just jump in them and run. So I went on the website and saw that were was a 2:14 minute long video about!!! What were the writers smoking!!!! Runners world last time I checked I wasn't 5 years old, I know how to tie my shoes. -Mark
